🚨DEADLINE EXTENDED 🚨 For any undergraduate neuroscience student who wishes to participate in the Black In Neuro SURP Symposium. You have till Monday September 2,2024 to sign up! Don't miss your chance to present at this year's event! Application Link: forms.gle/nLVfdcGk2dsoMH…

LeritLab My first recollection that DNA was a thing came because of GI Joe. The “Arise Serpentor, Arise!” 5-episode arc is on YouTube and worth a watch. youtu.be/Te611XRUU8Q?fe…

NOA on a Friday? Yes, please. Happy our diversity supplement with NIGMS Grants is officially funded! This grant supports Adaeze, a talented Psych major about to start her junior yr. She works with tech Jovan studying an actin-binding protein. Thanks NIGMS!

Now that we're entering faculty job season, I want to reshare my ✨job search advice doc✨. It compiles all the super helpful advice I received from mentors & includes my own experiences on the market. Best of luck out there, everyone - you got this! 💪 helpimascientist.com/wp-content/upl…

New Preprint Alert! 🚨 Check our latest work on #NuMA and #Dynein 🔬 👉 doi.org/10.1101/2024.0… NuMA activates dynein/dynactin via its N-term and caps microtubule minus ends via its C-term, allowing dynein-driven minus end transport, the basis of spindle pole focusing!

Elegant experimental data supports the theory that chromosome structure in Drosophila is determined by boundary pairing, not loop extrusion. elifesciences.org/articles/94070…

Excited that my lab's latest paper on Drosophila eye and head patterning is published in Development today! Congrats to co-first authors Gary Teeters and Bonnie Weasner. Control of fate specification within the dorsal head of Drosophila melanogaster. journals.biologists.com/dev/article/15…

🚨 Neuroscience job alert!! UVA Biology is hiring multiple TT faculty in Neuroscience (circuitry, glia, behavioral genetics, etc.). If you're looking for a vibrant scientific community with wonderful colleagues then check it out! Please share/rt! apply.interfolio.com/153064

Let us count the ways

Many of us struggle with the slow 🐌 pace of science publishing. Editors can't find reviewers, etc. I wanted to share a feel good moment. We got 3 reviews back from Genetics Society of America G3 journal a mere 1 month after submission...! WOW ⚡️🚀🙏

Preparing for a Chalk Talk? Don't miss Dr. Williams's advice from Season 4 on "Demystifying the Tenure-Track Faculty Application Process!" #NINDSDemystifies #NINDSNervePod Join us next season for more tips on improving your SciComm skills! Listen at buzzsprout.com/558574/13248039

We are excited to host two rotation students starting next week!

I am thrilled and honored to receive this Javits Award from NINDS, and incredibly grateful to all past and present members of my lab, as well as my mentors and colleagues in the field! DukeMGM Duke Neurobiology Duke Department of Cell Biology #radialglia

Neuroscience faculty job alert! The University of Notre Dame is hiring 5 tenure-track positions in cellular, molecular, or computational neurobiology. Come be my colleague in a welcoming and inclusive environment. Please share! apply.interfolio.com/152596

Happy to share our work about how neurons re-utilize gene expression regulators to directly control cytoskeletal dynamics. We found that the nucleating component of the Exon Junction Complex, EIF4A3, acts non-canonically as a microtubule-binding protein to regulate axonal growth.

New teaching scope for the lab! 🔬

We moved to Jena, light and Science city where the name Stem cell was coined!! We expand our brain organoid research focusing primary cilia in the brain development and disorders. Interested Ph.D,Masters,TAs,Post-Docs, please apply. #organoids, #Cilia,#GSCN.
